Alex Dimou - Tot (RBL048)

Almost one year on from his last release on the label, Athens based Alex Dimou releases a stellar EP for Rebellion showcasing his wide musical range over three tracks. The ultra depths of piano driven lead track Tot , the wobbly, twisted rhythms of Define  and the tech-house slam poetry of Constellation all showcase the many sides of Alex Dimou.

His debut release for the label, 'This Time', featured Namibian singer Black Soda, which inspired a new collaboration. Constellation was the outcome, which features South African slam poet Lazarusman, well known for his work with Stimming, DJ T and Djuma Soundsystem.

"I've been working on this EP for the past year. 'Tot' is one of my favorite tracks, where I've tried to blend my routes with newest influences. 'Constellation' came together almost a year agfo. It's a collaboration with Lazarusman, an artist I've always admired. 'Define' was made in Paris. During my live performance in a club, I realized that I needed a track with a vocoder vocal so I started working on it as soon as I went back to the hotel" Alex Dimou.

Anyone who has heard AlexDimou's impressive live-set will recognize these tracks that will now finally be released on Rebellion. Other releases can be found on the likes of Get Physical, Audiomatique Recordings and Kindisch.

Alex Dimou Feat. Black Soda - This Time (RBL033)

Alex Dimou teams up with Black Soda, a multi-platform artist based in Cape Town to produce the mesmerizing 'This Time', set with two dOP remixes for Crosstown Rebels's Rebellion.

South Africa's Black Soda works in photography, writes, sings, produces and performs her music live, both as a solo artist and in various groups. "I met Black Soda almost a year ago through our mutual friend, Echonomist" explains Dimou. "It was probably the easiest collaboration I have ever done as she is a pure talent". Her voice elevates 'This Time' from club weapon to raw ammunition for the highest peaks of the nights.

Notorious French trio dOP bring a delicate sensuality to their 'Early Remix', while the 'Late Dub' sparks with an other-worldly, futuristic aura. Their infamous live show catapulted them to the mainstream and saw them return to the year end charts in the likes of Resident Advisor and Groove, but dOP first cemented their reputation as producers taking their own distinct vision to dance music.

Familiar for releases and albums on Get Physical, Klik and Audiomatique Recordings, Alex Dimou is followed for his stand out lives acts and DJ sets. His first contribution to Damian Lazarus's Rebellion introduces a stunning partnership and more than one promising talent.
